Crystal Palace have signed Israel international Anan Khalaili on a deal which runs until 2031.
The Eagles have reportedly paid a £21m fee for the 21-year-old, who can play as a full-back or winger.
He arrives from Union Saint-Gilloise where, since joining in 2024, he helped the side win their first Belgian Pro League title in 90 years and a Belgian Cup.
Khalaili will add European experience to Palace's Europa League campaign, having scored three of his six goals last season in the Champions League.
"I have followed the Premier League for a long time, it's a new challenge for me," Khalaili said.
"And Crystal Palace I like, because I have followed them for a long time. They have deserved to win three trophies and I want to do more."
Khalaili becomes the fifth addition to Pierre Sage's side.
Defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oscar Mingueza each signed on a free, while Dwight McNeil arrived in exchange for Brennan Johnson and Evann Guessand returns on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.
